[laughter] but listen, they will talk to us, unlike this administration. you are exactly right. listen, none of us know what is going to happen on this obamacare fight right now. in my view the house of representatives needs to keep doing what it has been doing, which is standing strong. [applause] and that is the model for every other fight. we need no more washington solutions. we need to go back to the american people. [applause] the media tells us we cannot win. i read in "the new york times" that hillary has already started her second term.

when president obama took office in 2009, the housing market was in freefall. home prices had fallen nearly 20% from year before, the largest when you drop ever measured. roughly 3 million borrowers were seriously delinquent. construction projects and plans came to a halt. causing the industry to lose 100,000 jobs a month. across the board we saw dramatic declines. and, of course, these drops represented more than shifting numbers on a spreadsheet. they represented peoples lies, savings, and struggles. so when the president and i took office, we set in place the number of priorities which still guide us today. one, to provide immediate assistance to those in need. two, to work with public and private sector partners to strengthen the housing market and help fuel and overall economic recovery. and three, to ensure that a crisis of this magnitude never happens again. so let me start with the first goal. providing immediate assistance to those in need. when i last spoke at your annual conference in 2011, i told you about a number of initiatives we had undertaken w
